Gov Radda Offers Direct Employment to First Class Graduate Selling Pure Water, Reaffirms Commitment to Academic Excellence. Katsina State Governor, Malam Dikko Umaru Radda PhD, CON, has offered immediate employment to Sham'unu Ishaq, a First Class graduate of Umaru Musa Yar'adua University who was discovered selling pure water to support his family. Upon learning of Ishaq's situation, Governor Radda promptly directed his Special Assistant on Students Matters, Hon. Muhammad Nagaske, to verify the authenticity of the viral video. Subsequent investigation confirmed that Sham'unu Ishaq indeed graduated with First Class honors in (Ed.) Education/Biology during the 2021/2022 academic session, as verified by the University's Deputy Vice Chancellor. Ishaq, who completed his National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) program in Taraba State, had resorted to selling pure water to meet personal and family obligations. "Academic excellence should be rewarded, not relegated to the streets," Governor Radda stated while issuing directives for Ishaq's immediate employment through the Head of Service. "This administration remains committed to identifying and supporting exceptional talents who can contribute to our state's development." This latest intervention aligns with Governor Radda's consistent drive to reward academic excellence and promote quality education in Katsina State. Just last month, on October 12, 2024, the Governor demonstrated this commitment by offering automatic employment to nine outstanding graduates of Isah Kaita College of Education, Dutsinma. Additionally, the Governor offered another direct employment to 9 First Class Graduates from Umaru Musa Yar'adua University during the 9th - 13th combined convocation held on the 26th May, 2024. "Our administration recognizes that the future of Katsina State lies in harnessing the potential of our brightest minds," Governor Radda emphasized. "We will continue to create opportunities that enable our youth to utilize their skills and knowledge for the betterment of our society." The Governor's swift action not only addresses an immediate social concern but also sends a strong message about his administration's dedication to youth empowerment and educational development. This gesture reinforces the government's policy of identifying and supporting academic excellence while ensuring that no talented youth in Katsina State is left behind. *Ibrahim Kaula Mohammed* *Chief Press Secretary to the Governor of Katsina State* *14th November, 2024*

NAF Destroys Bandits’ Enclave in Kankara, Rescues 76 Victims By: Zagazola Makama The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has destroyed the enclave of a notorious bandit kingpin, Babaro, at Pauwa Hill in Kankara Local Government Area of Katsina State. The precision air strike, carried out between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Thursday, led to the rescue of 76 kidnapped victims, including women and children. The Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affairs in Katsina confirmed the development in a statement on Saturday. According to the ministry, the rescued persons included all those abducted during the recent attack on Unguwan Mantau in Malumfashi Local Government Area. It, however, regretted that one child lost his life during the ordeal. Zagazola reports that Babaro and his gang have been linked to a series of deadly attacks and abductions in parts of Katsina State, including the recent killings in Gidan Mantau. The ministry described the operation as a major breakthrough in the fight against banditry, noting that it reflected the renewed momentum of joint security operations across the state. “The rescue of the kidnapped victims underscores the effectiveness of coordinated air and ground operations,” it said. It commended the Nigerian Air Force, the Nigerian Army and other security agencies for their sacrifices and professionalism in reclaiming communities from criminal gangs. The Katsina State Government pledged continued support through logistics, intelligence-sharing and community engagement, while urging citizens to remain vigilant and provide timely information to aid security operations.

PLAIN TRUTH ABOUT NORTHERN NIGERIA - HE. DIKKO RADDA Summary: Interviewer: Considering that northern Nigeria has the highest number of voters and has been in power for decades and that every progressive step seems to originate from the region where exactly do you think the failure lies? Why does the North lack recognition, direction, or a collective blueprint for progress? HE Dikko Radda: Our major and only problem is lack of unity. Everyone works in isolation, everyone minds his personal business. It is an operation of save yourself, look after yourself. Nobody is concerned about what others or communities are facing. There is no single individual in the North whose voice carries the weight of collective respect, no one whose decisions people listen to or stand by. What we require is leadership, respect for elders, and a unified position that binds every northerner. Take an example from our neighbours in the South; If a Yoruba man relocates to the UK or US and finds a job, one thing is certain, he will ensure he brings a friend or family member to benefit from that opportunity. Any job or opening he finds, he will show it to one of his own. Go to northern Nigeria: any Igbo man who owns a shop will, after a few years, open a similar shop for someone from his family or community or give them capital. If he does not, he cannot return home. In the North, we have no guiding structure or mentality of helping and building each other. We are often used for political gains. Sometimes, there will be a collective stance meant to benefit the region, but a few individuals will sabotage it simply because they were promised ministerial positions, appointments, or even oil wells. They will sell out the dignity of the North, separate themselves, and oppose the collective decision. Interviewer: This recurring sabotage with insecurity efforts. Do you think there are measures northerners must take to bring real change? Because investigations often reveal that some relevant people in the North are deeply involved, yet they go unpunished. This makes people doubt whether the insecurity even exists or if it’s just propaganda and political games. HE Dikko Radda: To even think like that is self-deception. The country has decayed to the extent that even moving a document from one office to another requires payment. Everything happening here isn’t someone coming from outside countries doing it for us, it is we Nigerians. Informants giving bandits information are often our own relatives, traditional rulers, community leaders, soldiers, and policemen. In most cases, the corrupt ones among them call the bandits to alert them before an operation. It is human nature to do wrong when there is no consequence. Even in foreign countries where we hear there is no corruption, that is not true. Corruption exists, but their laws are strict and apply to everyone, including their leaders. A leader must lead by example. If you want to stop bribery, but someone in government offers you money and you accept it, how can you have the moral authority to punish anyone? If I refuse to take it, you will not do it, and I will have the authority to discipline you. For things to work, leaders must put relationships aside and treat wrongdoing decisively. Interviewer: Let’s talk about the northern economy, especially with insecurity still persistent. Is there a collective solution that can help us survive and boost our region’s economy without discrimination? HE Dikko Radda: What will benefit us is collective decision-making. Our biggest issue is lack of leadership. Leaders of different groups—religious, political, traditional, ideological—are divided. Many attempts have been made to unify the North, but none have succeeded. Ask any northerner today to give you the agenda or blueprint of the North he cannot, because there is none. But go to the Yoruba people, they have an agenda and a clear direction of where they are heading.
